- Climate change is a constant companion to human undertakings across time but the diversity of human responses calls for contextual approaches. In the present chapter, we turn to the Late Bronze Age of the Peloponnese, Greece, comparing fluctuations between wet and dry climate conditions with equally fluctuating levels of socio-political integration and economic expansion. We apply a holistic perspective on land use to assess both positive and negative effects of climate change across different temporal and spatial levels. The analysis makes clear that the effect of climate change is ultimately dependent on prior vulnerabilities and that we need new tools to evaluate such shifting levels of vulnerability across time. In this initial review, we explore three variables often used in vulnerability assessments: climate conditions, food supply and connectedness, addressing in turn the exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of LBA societies in the face of climate change.
